Let’s work together

Warm intros welcome.

How does Big Light Studio select collaborators for my project?

Every project is different—and that’s what we love. We don’t pull from a bench; we bring together people we trust, admire, and genuinely enjoy working with. Depending on your goals, we’ll curate a small, intentional team of technologists, product thinkers, designers, or infrastructure specialists who are excited to solve the challenge with you. Each collaborator is handpicked not just for their expertise, but for how well they listen, think, and build in partnership.

How involved is Big Light Studio after we launch?

We don’t disappear when the confetti hits the floor. Once we’ve launched, we’re still here—for follow-up questions, future sprints, or just to think through what’s next. Some clients tap us for ongoing advisory or hands-on support, others bring us back when the next big thing starts to stir. Either way, we remain part of your extended braintrust—for as long as it’s useful.

What values guide your work with clients?

Curiosity is our compass, clarity is our toolkit, and courage is what gets us out of bed. We ask good questions, listen closely, and aren’t afraid to say, “Hmm, let’s rethink that.” We believe that great work starts with trust and grows through real collaboration. Add in a little warmth, a lot of thoughtfulness, and the occasional emoji in a project doc—and that’s pretty much us. We’re not here to just tick boxes. We’re here to build something that works, lasts, and feels good to use.

What kinds of companies do you typically work with?

We partner with early-stage startups, scaling product teams, and established platforms going through transformation. If you’re navigating complexity, launching something ambitious, or trying to untangle tech that’s holding you back—we’d love to talk.

Can I bring Big Light Studio in to support my existing team?

Yes! We love working alongside in-house teams—whether it’s offering fractional leadership, adding firepower for a key initiative, or helping shape the structure and rituals that make great teams thrive.
